The LCS also providesinterface links to additional facilities such asdata tablet operation, touch screen systems,microphone systems, character generatorsand vision switchers.The flexible and intuitive user interface is basedon Windows XP, and the Graphics User Interface(GUI) provides the operator with up to dateinformation on the available functions and statusof the system, and each seat in the softwareseating plan is associated with multiple cameras,each with multiple shot capabilities. The operatorassigns and prioritises a series of shot typesagainst each seat (or target) which is thenrecalled through touchscreen control. The systemcalculates the best quality shot available and panand tilt heads associated to these shots willautomatically move into position.This intelligent system can also be used inmanual or automated mode, to ensure the bestavailable camera shot is taken to preview orswitched to air. In manual mode the operatorselects and controls single or multiple camerasvia the external device, using the standard presetshot available. In automated mode, the standardcue table offers a priority camera selection oneach pre-saved shot.Shot selection can also be controlled via anexternal trigger such as a microphone switcher.When a particular microphone is activated it canbe used as a trigger for shot recall, from whichthe LCS calculates the camera shot type requiredand sends the shot to preview. This enables rapidshot selection which in turn allows the operatorto concentrate on trimming the on-air cameras.The LCS system can also be a drop inreplacement to the existing DOS controlledsystems, controlling existing heads via anEthernet protocol interface supplied by VintenRadamec, without any requirement to changeremote heads, wiring or cameras.Key Features and Benefits+ Multi-user, multi-facility control ofcameras, CCU controls and roboticdevices+ Modular, adaptable design forcontinuous upgrading of existingsystems from small joystick panelsthrough to 22”+ Flexible and intuitive user interface+ Simple and flexible touchscreenoperation+ Manual or automated shot selection+ External trigger control36Control Systemswww.vintenradamec.com
